‘We are satisfied with the measures Festival Republic have put in place for Wireless Festival’

London’s Haringey Council have responded to the problems reported at shows at Finsbury Park this weekend – claiming that they are ‘satisfied’ with measures Festival Republic have taken ahead of this weekend’s Wireless Festival.

While revealing that they had received a number of complaints from punters on social media about last weekend’s event, a spokesman from Haringey Council told NME: “Additional measures for leaving the park were put in place for Saturday’s event, which went well. We are satisfied with the measures Festival Republic have put in place for Wireless.”

They also added that they believed there were sufficient water points across the site for the amount of attendees. The Workers Beer Company will not be running the bars at Wireless Festival this weekend.

A spokesman for the charity Workers Beer Company spokesman has since told NME that this has never happened before, even the many events they’ve worked at Finsbury Park in the past. While their next event of the summer will be at Lovebox Festival, Workers Beer Company will also be conducting their own independent inquiry into how this happened.
